GreenCactus Posted January 20, 2012 Report Posted January 20, 2012 Nearly 700 people have registered for MOTD so far. :top: Who is going and what have you signed up for? I'm going. I'm staying in the DCMM Cabin with Katie (kgdblu). I'll be arriving on Sunday, April 29. I'm signed up for the Welcome Dinner, Bingo, Car Show, Brew Swap and Farewell Dinner. I'll be helping Barry (Snooter) with set up on Tuesday morning. I also plan on :motor::motor::motor::motor::motor:. Hopefully, Cricket agrees and won't decide to be difficult this year.
JAB 67 Posted January 20, 2012 Report Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) I'm going (wife too). Arriving Wednesday, leaving Sunday. Staying in a 2-bedroom Hemlock. Signed up for the wine tasting, the Cherohala drive (led by Katie), the Brew Swap, and Farewell Dinner. Thinking about signing up for the Biltmore. Looking forward to it!

Poison Ivy Posted January 20, 2012 Report Posted January 20, 2012 I'm going this year (first timer)! I plan to arrive Wed (may Thurs) and stay through Sun. I'm staying in a shared cabin with other MA forum members. Oh well, it's only to sleep. I've signed up for DCMM Dry Falls/Bridal Veil Falls Run (volunteering too).

ORazor Posted January 20, 2012 Report Posted January 20, 2012 I'll just be starting a new job, so I would have to drive down on Friday afternoon, get in at 3AM, and then drive back Sunday. What do you think - worth it? Another consideration - convincing SWMBO (She Who Must Be Obeyed).

kgdblu Posted January 20, 2012 Report Posted January 20, 2012 Arriving Sunday. Signed up for Welcome Dinner, Bingo, and Farewell Dinner. Am leading a drive on the Cherohala on Friday. Razor, it's a long grueling drive to get there, and I don't know if I'd do it just to be at MOTD for 48 hours, but that's just me.

What do you think - worth it? Another consideration - convincing SWMBO (She Who Must Be Obeyed). IMO 9 hour drive each way calls for some significant R&R.

Edge Posted January 20, 2012 Report Posted January 20, 2012 I'm going, of course... it holds a permanent place on my annual calendar, ever since I went the first time in 2005. 8 straight! Not as good as Katie's perfect 10 record, but not shabby either. I'm signed up for the Welcome Dinner, Bingo, Brew Swap and Farewell Dinner. I'll probably be helping Barry (Snooter) with the panoramic photo on Saturday morning, as I usually do.

maacodale Posted January 21, 2012 Report Posted January 21, 2012 A bunch of us are headed down from HR MINI land. A group of the girls are heading down Sunday, us guys are headed down at different times. Think I'm heading down Tuesday. With the inter-HR MINI cabin debacle, a group of us rented a 4 bed room/4 bath room house, just outside of Robbinsville. Really looking forward to all the fun MOTD has come to mean to me!
MiniMike Posted January 21, 2012 Report Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) 1st Timers. My wife and I are a two MINI family. Only bringing "TAZ!". "Emma Frost" is staying home! We are staying at the Lodge and sharing a room with a couple from the PittsStop Crew from Pittsburgh. I have a friend on MA that has 2 or 3 spots left in a large cabin. There will be around 10 total in the cabin but its big and it'll break down to like $105 a head for the stay. That's $105 for the entire stay not per night. Leaves you more cash for the MINI gear binge. Give me your contact info and I'll put you in touch. Edited February 23, 2012 by MiniMike MiniMike and TAZ! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
TATTRAT Posted January 21, 2012 Report Posted January 21, 2012 So. Effing. Jealous! I hope all of you have a GREAT time! Dana and I have talked about it, and I think we may try to do this next year. . .this year was talked about, but just didn't work out do to many reasons. Can't wait to hear all about the trips! flickr

Yeah, that is kinda the feeling I get, and I KNOW, that I would have a metric sh** ton of fun! The fact that Dana was diggin it, is all the more reason to make a lil vacation of it, and I will make it! I am going to survive this year if it kills me, lol! flickr
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted January 23, 2012 Report Posted January 23, 2012 Mark and I will be there, we're bringing both MINIs because we don't share well. We plan to arrive on Sunday and are staying in a cabin at Fontana with Craig and Lona and Marty and Pammy. We signed up for the welcome dinner, and I signed up for bingo, Mark for the Brew swap.

Gigi Posted January 23, 2012 Report Posted January 23, 2012 I have my cabin behind Celia's again. Sadly, there's no more real Dublin Dr. Pepper for me to bring. (damn you, Dr. Pepper Corporation :argh:). Still working on alternative Plan B. Got any requests or suggestions?
IndiCooper Posted January 23, 2012 Report Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) I'm with u Ali! Idk how people from multi MINI families only bring 1 MINI, this is not the event to share a car! that's y we bring all 3!! but my dads gonna have a tough decision this year on whether to bring the classic or JCW!? MOTD IN 100 DAYS!!!!!!!!! :party: Edited January 23, 2012 by IndiCooper
